They were by far the easiest thing I have installed on my car.

EM Longtubes on the way-yipee
Finally bit the bullet and ordered some headers today. Exotic Muscle 1 3/4 ceramic coated long tubes with Random Technologies high flow cats
I'm pumped now. I'm going to install them the week after Christmas and get the car re-dynotuned. Hopefully I'll taste the 11's at the Corvette Challenge event in Richmond with the new set up. I know it's a stretch, but one could only hope
That took care of my mod money for a while

It wont slow you down. Your ready for your H/C swap now. When are you going to give us your Dyno #s. 11s are usually 400 rwhp cars and your a tenth of a sec away with mostly stock LT4. Thats great.

Shouldn't really NEED an X pipe, the stock LT4 exhaust already has an H pipe. However an X might be a bit more efficient and maybe sound better. I finally got the go ahead on my EM long tubes at tax time barring no more unforeseen expenses. I'm jealous.

Actually, I think one thing that helped the et's was raising the rev limiter to 6,500 when it was tuned. I turn it as close to the limiter as I can without hitting it in every gear. The rest is all LT4. Here's the dyno sheet from when it was tuned:
